This write-up doesn't actually state where these unobfuscated images came from, so it's not clear to me where (or whether) there are actually unobfuscated images in Air Canada's system. Tools like Glassbox usually mark PII fields with CSS classes to blur/redact fields when the screenshots are taken. It looks like the author may have found password and credit card fields without these CSS classes and manually recreated what the unobfuscated fields would look like with dummy data, but it's also possible to configure these tools to not log entire pages or directories -- this is how payment pages are usually configured, with screenshotting completely disabled.
If the (anonymous) author simply mocked up what these screenshots _might_ look like if they were saved, that's pretty misleading.
- theappanalyst 8y agoAuthor here, these are not mockups and if you watch the video linked you can see me replay the session I captured using a https proxy. Hope that clears things up, thanks for your interest!
- lifeisstillgood 8y agoI had a similar question - I would recommend making that clear on an edit of the post But thanks for this - I had no idea such things were prevalent ... now I wonder if I should surf with a proxy on to see what's being sent ...
- z3t4 8y agoIt's very sobering. But much harder now when everything is on HTTPS.
